I concur with your experiences... Alternatively, I've found that I needed to modify the unload section of my mtx-changer script to uncomment out the line to take the device offline and then use a "sleep 5" before the line to unload the tape. I've also found that running a "make install" overwrites those needed changes by overwriting my mtx-changer script with the one that comes with the bacula source so now I don't do that anymore... I just copy the binaries myself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
